CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis. (WRN) — State funding is on the way for mental health services in Chippewa Valley.
The Wisconsin state Senate last week approved a one-time grant of $10 million for Rogers Behavioral Health to build a new integrated mental health facility in Chippewa Falls, which state Senator Jesse James calls . . .
“No less than the most significant win for mental health in the Triple Valley ever, and our state, for that matter,” James said.
Last year saw the closure of Sacred Heart Hospital in Eau Claire and St. Joseph’s Hospital in Chippewa Falls.
“We’ve lost mental health beds due to those closures, including our youth in patient beds. Rogers will be bringing that back,” James said.
The new Rogers Behavioral Health Chippewa Falls facility is projected to open in early 2027 with 14 inpatient rooms and 24 residential rooms.
